Chapter 122: Resolute Opposition for Opposition
Chapter 122: Firmly oppose for opposition
Zhang Rang sneered twice and said, "I was thinking that the boy named Li is sensible and able to make great contributions. We have to reward him well, but we are afraid that the wastes in the court will oppose it, so we can't make up our minds for a long time, afraid that he will cause something to happen because of him. Now with this sheepskin, everything will be done. If we don't have to speak, then He Jin will have to help him seek an official position. Maybe he has to give him a marquis and let that boy named Li be dangled!"
The eunuchs laughed together, and Cao Jie said, "The boy named Li is going to fight against He Jin? What documents have he left? Brother Zhang took them out and let us all see them too. How about it?"
"Just let you see!" Zhang Rang said, took out the proof written by Li Qin from his sleeve and placed it on the table for the eunuchs to see.
The eunuchs were all amazed when they saw it. Cao Jie pounded the table and clattered, shouting: "This is to fight He Jin to death. They are unshakable for the sun and the moon. The boy named Li... Then what kind of hatred does General Li have with He Jin?"
When I didn't read the statutes, I just felt that Li Qin was just a small military officer who wanted to curry favor with them. It was very ordinary and ordinary. But after reading the statutes, Cao Jie immediately felt that Li Qin was too good at being a human being. He was simply a good friend and good brother of their eunuchs. He must be respected and cultivated to become a good person. He was not called a boy named Li, but instead he was called General Li.
The other eunuchs also nodded and looked at Zhang Rang together, wanting to know what kind of grudge Li Qin had with He Jin, and they dared to leave a document. This is like being determined to stay with He Jin forever. Where can I find such a good friend and a good helper?
Zhang Rang frowned and said, "This is not particularly clear. However, when Zhang Rang came back, he said that Li Qin seemed to be a descendant of Li Guang, and he might be a boast. However, such a thing cannot be verified. I can only think that he is a descendant of Li Guang!"
The eunuchs looked at each other. Li Guang's descendants? Li Guang is not a big shot. If you pretend to be a famous family, you have to find a more famous person who has never made any mistakes. For example, Zhang Liang, why should you pretend to be a descendant of Li Guang?
Cao Jie smiled and said, "Since General Li is willing to recognize Li Guang as his ancestor, why not help him and confirm his identity?"
The eunuchs nodded together and smiled, "Of course, we can definitely help with this small matter!"
Zhang Rang smiled and said, "I see that boy named Li is going to make a fortune!"
Cao Jie said: "What Brother Zhang said is wrong, it is General Li!"
The eunuchs laughed together and said, "Yes, it's General Li!"
Zhang Rang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's General Li, he is our own people, we must respect it!"
the next day.
Emperor Liu Hong rarely attends court. Only when he holds a grand ceremony on a specific day will he reluctantly sit in court for a while and fulfill his responsibilities as an emperor. Usually, he will give whatever he has to do to the Ten Generals or Hejin. It is not easy for ordinary ministers to see him.
After attending court, Liu Hong yawned and waved to Zhang Rang who was standing beside him. Zhang Rang bent over and agreed quietly, stepped forward, stood on the side of the dragon case, and shouted: "If you have something to say, you will leave the court without any trouble!"
None of the ministers said anything, and they would not say anything in the court if there was anything. They looked at He Jin, who was standing in the front, waiting for He Jin to leave the squad, and talked about the war in Liangzhou. This was the biggest thing in recent years.
He Jin coughed and thought, "How should I start the report? I have to let Zhang ask them to express their opinions first, but how can I let them express their opinions first? These people are treacherous and slippery, so I might want to listen to my opinions first?"
After Zhang Rang said that, he retreated to the court without any trouble, but he looked at He Jin, glanced at He Jin with contempt, and turned his face away, as if he had glared at He Jin for a long time, as if he had lost his identity.
He Jin suddenly saw Zhang Rang remembering contempt towards him, and he was furious. He was rude and could not stand others being angry. Zhang Rang, a bastard eunuch, dared to despise him. Of course, he also had to despise him well. Unfortunately, Zhang Rang didn't look at him anymore, so he couldn't despise him.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall, shouting: "The Huns had a messenger!" Liu Jiu was just a king of the Huns, not a Shanyu. His messenger could only be called a messenger, not an envoy.
Zhang Rang quickly turned around and bent down to look at Liu Hong. Liu Hong exclaimed and said, "The messenger of the Huns? It's not time to pay tribute, why did it come?"
The messenger outside was arranged by Zhang Rang, not a real Hun. The messenger who came to deliver the letter had long been sent by Zhang Rang to put some big stones in a sack, tied a few big stones, and sank into the river outside the city. Zhang Rang has always been ruthless in his work. What about the Hun King Liu Jiu and Liu Ba, so he didn't care. In order to prevent the messenger from telling the "truth", he would just kill him, and then send someone to pretend to be a messenger. After that, he pretended to go out of the city in broad daylight and returned to the grassland. Then he would do whatever he should do. If Liu Jiu sent someone to ask the messenger, he would say that the messenger had safely left the Han territory, but was killed by the Wuhuan people on the grassland, so that Liu Jiu would settle the score with the Wuhuan people!
Zhang Rang smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want the messenger to go to the palace?"
Liu Hong nodded and said, "Then let's go, let's see what tribute Shanyu gave me. It's probably a horse again, and he won't say goodbye except horse."
Zhang Rang said with great prescient knowledge: "It sounds like a messenger, not an envoy, probably not a person sent by Shanyu!" He turned around and shouted: "The Xuan Xiongnu messenger went to the hall!"
Liu Hong frowned. It was not an envoy of Shanyu, so it would be boring if he couldn't see him.
The little yellow gate shouted out one after another. After a while, a big man with a beard came outside the hall. Before he could enter the hall, he knelt down outside and shouted: "It's unfair, please ask the Emperor of Han to make the decision for my Huns!"
When Liu Hong heard this, he felt even more annoyed. He was not the one sent by Shanyu. The people sent by the Huns' ministry always had to be rewarded. He received very few tributes, so he naturally refused to accept them. He was so short of money that he sold all his official positions. Can he still like those who care about his money? As for the complaints, he became even more annoyed. The Huns fought and fought, so why did they look for him, the Emperor of Han?
As an emperor, the Han Dynasty was in complete decline at the hands of Liu Hong. He did not like his ancestors to care about the affairs of the grassland, and he was not willing to care about the affairs of the Han Dynasty himself.
Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong again and whispered: "Your Majesty, if you are tired, why don't you let the old slave deal with it?"
"You can think about me, so you can handle it!" Liu Hong was determined to go back to the back hall, but after thinking about it, he still didn't get up. Anyway, the Huns messenger had also fallen down. It would be better to listen to what he said, and he could go back and talk to the concubines, talk about the unhappy things of the Huns, and make the concubines in the palace happy.
Although Zhang Rang's name was Rang, he had no intention of being humble at all. He directly called the fake messenger to the palace, took the sheepskin letter, and put it on Liu Hong's table, and the king and his ministers looked together.
Liu Hong looked at it and suddenly laughed, "It turns out that it was not the Huns who beat themselves, but our people beat them. Li Qin is quite powerful, but I don't know if the tribute has been sent to Beijing?"
He didn't care about the life or death of the Huns. In order to make money, as the Emperor of Han, he even set up the "Four Gardens Sales Office" and sold official positions publicly. Even officials began to sell them publicly. What else does he care about, let alone the Huns.
Zhang Rang said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this Li Qin is extremely guilty. After he was accused of Li Ling, he even robbed and killed the Huns and killed two Gudu Marquis. He is so bold that he can't let him go!"
Liu Hong glanced at the messenger lying down below and thought to himself: "It's just a matter of killing a few Huns. What's the big deal? And it's Liu Jiu's Huns. If Liu Jiu really had a way to deal with Li Qin, he would have started fighting long ago and wouldn't have sent anyone to Luoyang at all. He would definitely not be able to beat him. He came here to complain, but he came empty-handed, which was extremely boring!"
Zhang Rang's words were actually like showing his clear attitude. It was normal for him to deal with Li Qin. He would deal with him if he didn't like him. He would deal with him if he often did this!
But He Jin below was anxious. He immediately left the work and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I have several battle reports here. Because the results of the battle have not been released a few days ago, I have never dared to present them to the emperor for fear that the emperor is upset. Now that the results of the battle have been released, I dared to take them out and present them to the emperor in person!"
After saying that, he took out the battle reports from his sleeves and handed them over to Xiaohuangmen to Liu Hong. Liu Hong opened the battle reports and looked at them one by one. Zhang Rang did not disturb him. He had known this a long time ago, earlier than He Jin knew about it.
After reading the battle report, Liu Hong smiled and said, "That's right. I was thinking just now that with the wolves of the Huns, if they can beat Li Qin, it would be reasonable to not fight. This is because he was defeated, so the evil one complained first!"
What I thought about just now, coupled with the confirmation of the war report, wouldn’t it be that the emperor is very foresighted? This is what should be like!
He Jin shouted: "Your Majesty, I didn't believe in this great victory, but now the Huns King Liu Jiu sent someone to complain, which can prove that the war report is all true. Then Li Qin did win a great victory and should be rewarded rather than punished!"
Zhang Rang sneered in his heart. He Jin was really a fool. He opposed it just for the sake of opposition, as if he could get what he could get when we fight against him. He said, "Emperor, even if the military report is true, Li Qin was the one who committed the official Li Ling. He claimed that his ancestors were flying generals. This is called being inclined to the flames and possession of power. How can he be granted a marquis with such character?"
In the court, when other ministers heard this, they thought to themselves: "Why did it be that Li Guang could not be granted the title of marquis? But the marquis will fall on his descendant Li Qin? It seems that He Jin is going to be fooled!" Many people already understood what was going on, but no one said that the gods fought and the mortals would not interfere!
